      Overall disappointing...uninspiring leaders, lack of focus or clear strategy.

      Pros

      - Inspiring mission and work helping millions of vulnerable children across the world - If you look hard enough, you can find a committed (small) group of colleagues who are fun, bright and working hard to keep World Vision relevant in a rapidly changing sector - Massive network (45K+ employees) and highly reputable brand builds a solid platform for your next career move - Salary, benefits and flexible hours are quite good, especially for a nonprofit.

      Cons

      Old-school hierarchical culture keeps open communication, innovation and the ability to pivot quickly near zero. Lack of transparency from uninspiring, often short-sighted senior leaders. Regular layoffs and budget cuts lead to near constant "restructures" within teams and departments. Little to no effort is made to engage employees in strategy or decision-making, even when changes significantly affect their entire portfolio of work. Politics, bureaucracy and maintaining the "status quo" are alive and well. Low morale is ubiquitous. Overall a disappointing and sometimes outright bizarre experience working for the largest faith-based relief and development organization in the world.

      Needs a good clean out out the top

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Depending on the department, generally very flexible work environment Free parking Global reach Regularly promote from within

      Cons

      Rampant travel to conferences and other regional junkets Exec. leadership comprised mostly from private sector without a development background After the March 2014 incident no one was fired. Although sponsorship dropped off a cliff - none of the exec. team lead by example by taking pay cuts. Roles invented for senior those who have been with the org for a long time who want a change Not a friendly working environment for progressive Christians Very little evidence that the development models work

      Pros

      There are few wonderful people there

      Cons

      The company is full of people who have big egos and are hypocrites. They pretend to be humanitarian and Christian and go to donors to get funding but they treat their employees very badly with racism and evil soul. There is so much hierarchy and unfairness.

      It breaks my heart to read your review. We are listening to our employees through a number of venues - anonymous surveys, focus groups, employee emailbox to senior leadership and more. And, we are responsive to what employees are telling us - the good and the difficult. We have an employee council now to help guide our work environment efforts and a focus on developing our managers. Perhaps, there is support for your specific situation that can be helpful? We do not tolerate racism in any form. Please consider reaching to an HR person to address concerns.
